One person is dead and three others were hospitalized with serious injuries early Friday after a vehicle rolled over on Interstate 495.
The Prince George’s County Fire and EMS Department said first responders were called to the Capital Beltway Outer Loop just before St. Barnabas Road at 5:15 a.m. for a rollover crash involving a single car.
At the scene, officials determined that one person had been ejected from the vehicle. The occupant was declared dead at the scene. Three others were transported with serious but nonlife-threatening injuries.
The vehicle was driving along the Inner Loop before crashing and flipping over onto the Outer Loop of the Beltway, officials said.
With a crash investigation underway, all lanes between Maryland Route 210 and St. Barnabas Road on the Outer Loop, as well as the left lane of the Inner Loop, are closed to traffic.
The WTOP Traffic Center reports officials are using the left lane of the Inner Loop to redirect drivers away from the area.
“Due to the crash investigation, your delays are almost back to Van Dorn Street out of Virginia. Good idea to not even take this route,” Traffic Reporter Reada Kessler said.
The Maryland State Police is leading the investigation to determine the cause of the crash.
